I'm happy to announce that a majority of the executive voted to hold the vote here on the list, in the membership. The referendum for the future of GO::DH will begin on December 1, as planned, and you will decide. I'm also happy to announce that Amy Earhart will be our election official. She will write to you approaching election day with instructions. We will probably keep the ballot open for a week to give as many of you time to get to the vote.

As of now we have 1 model on the ballot. If no other model comes forth between now and then, we will simply say that model 2 is the status quo, nothing changes. The discussion is still open, and I encourage voices we haven't heard from to discuss, even if you don't feel like you know enough to provide a good opinion.

Needless to say, whatever model wins, I will work with the executive to ensure an orderly transition.

Best,

a.
